Sitting Under A Tree with Aidan Jones
One December in Sydney, out of lonely desperation to tell my story, I sat in a park under a tree and recorded a podcast. I’ve released a new one each week since November 2017, and will continue to do so every Tuesday, forever.

This week I recap the Australia Day long weekend including revelations from the protest, pat myself on the back for being two-and-a-half days sober, and look forward to my imminent firing (due to incompetence) from the cafe I've been working at for three weeks. Recorded from my room in North Melbourne.

I reminisce about the 90s British sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf, consider whether it'd be possible to get instagram cam girls to watch my stand up, and at one point slip into what I can honestly say is a fantastic Northern English accent.

Recorded while walking around my grandparents' farm near Lucindale, South Australia. (24/12 & 26/12) I get real angry and start shouting in the forest about Air China and why they're cunts, talk about weird experiences in the scouts, and freak out running into a bunch of spiderwebs. Fuck the country hahaha.

Recorded outside the Christ Church in Dublin, Friday night December 8, and while walking around Edinburgh on Tuesday morning, December 12. On the Friday night in Dublin I call out to some kids drinking on the street, and wonder why the fuck Spanish tour groups are still out at 8pm on a Friday night. Then in Edinburgh I reminisce about a great conversation I had with my friend Josephine THE DAY BEFORE that led to her quitting university to become an artist. I also speak on a bunch of other subjects that I have absolutely no qualification to weigh in on. This was a lot of fun. Song intermission: Loyle Carner - Heard 'Em Say (Kanye West Cover) live from BBC Radio 1

Recorded on three separate days: from a train station (30/11), and a bench outside an off license (1/12), and from St Stephen's Green in Dublin (5/12). I talk about having a shitty time while travelling, drinking in Berlin, and being brave enough to wait an extra day before washing your clothes.

Recorded in the empty bar at 8am in the KickAss Hostel in Edinburgh, Scotland. I talk strategies for dissuading people from sitting next to you on long-haul bus rides, shit cunts snoring in backpackers' hostels and ways to covertly wake them, and being worn down by the grind of travel.
